Matteo is doing great! He loves playing with his new cousins, Cass and Jessy. His dad always gives him new books, as both are avid readers. We and Matt travel to Europe every summer, and he has lots of fun! We went to France last year, and next vacation we are going to Netherlands and Belgium.

Welcome Adriana and Dante!
Adriana Carolina Meloni is from Sardinia and is 9 years old. She is long-limbed and sometimes clutzy, but loves to swim and run. Her dark hair gets lighter in the summer. Her older brother Cristiano is seventeen and at college, but he would like to write and have occasional visitations. He also wants her to attend church (Catholic) sometimes, at least on Christmas and Easter.
Dante Enrico really wants parents and family, as he has been in an orphanage all of his twelve years. He likes learning about science
and the human body in school, because he wants to be a doctor. Soccer and basketball are his favorite sports.

Welcome Lisbeth, Derek, and Sara!
Lisbeth Georgiana is a 3-year-old who was removed from her addict mother and her abusive fiancee who live in Sydney, Australia. Lissie is a little scared of new people and physical contact, so she might need therapy. She loves watching dance-type sports on tv, especially gymnastics and figure skating. She wants to become a figure skater. Her favorite color is purple. Lisbeth wants lots of stuffed animals to play with.
Derek Marcus and Sara Caitlin lived in a small town in Georgia until their mother died. Derek, the 6-year-old likes to try new things, in food, sports, and school. Red is his favorite color, while blue, pink, and yellow are 2-year-old Sara's. Derek has hemophilia and will need to be medicated, and Sara will need to be warned as she grows older of carrying the gene.

Welcome Maya, Jonathan, and Martin!
Maya Alicia is a 4-year-old girl from Quebec, Canada. Her young mother died in a car accident and her father, struggling through medical school, felt that giving her up for adoption would be the best decision. He would still like to send her letters and occasionally visit. Maya speaks French and English, and her father would like her to continue to learn it at school. Maya is very small and athletic, and loves to play sports and help cook. She has pin straight brown hair, green eyes, and loves to smile.
Jonathan Caden is a 10-year-old from San Diego, and likes animals and soccer. If he had a dog that chased soccer balls around the backyard with him, he would be really happy. His parents died when their house caught fire, but his sister Emily survived and was placed with another family in Miami, Florida. They would like to visit each other sometimes. He is part Mexican and has dark brown hair and eyes.
Martin Jean-Paul is a two month old rescued from the rubble in the recent Haitian earthquake. His family is all dead. He has big brown eyes, and loves to look at bright colors. He laughs all the time.
